Sudden collapsing leg syndrome

This is very weird.  I was doing a 10K race today, running along feeling pretty good, when at the 5k mark my right leg suddenly went sort of weirdly numb and floppy, and I couldn't lift my foot to run for a few strides.

I stopped and walked for a few steps, while it came back to life, then carried on and it was fine.  I have no ill effects now whatsoever, although my knee is a bit clicky.

My right foot occasionally goes numb when I'm training, mainly due to my ploddy running style, but its never affected the whole lower leg before.

Any ideas peeps?  If it had stayed numb then I'd have thought it was some sort of nasty neurological thing, but it went away so quickly I really have no idea what did it.
