You just didn't have enough free play in your brakes. When they heat up the fluid expands and starts applying the brakes. Then they really heat up. If you have a pressure switch for your brake lights, more than likely they stayed on the whole trip, draining your battery. Back your brake adjustment off a couple of clicks and try again,
