Prelude brake question

Was looking at upgrading my 92 Si for a 95 VTEC.

We where doing a little highway for speed then finished with drive around the neighborhood. All seemed good until the end when the brakes just seem to give out.
We where just finishing the neighborhood driving and the pedal just slowlly went to the floor. Had to pump it multiple times and got pressure back. Pulled over and checked the master cylinder and slave and clutch and all where full.
Got back in and limped back to where I had parked my car. Brakes where spongee but better.
The guy said he has never had that happen before and didn't no what to say. Needless to say I passed.
But what do you guys think the problem could of been?

1) air in the lines. the system had to be bleed
2) moisture in the fluid...lowering the boiling point of the brake fluid
3) street pads not meant for heavy duty braking...thus having lots of brake fade.
