Car just left me stranded! (almost - wouldn't start)

I've never had any problems with my '03 9-5 Aero in the 14 months I've owned her. Today, however, after pulling into a parking lot then grabbing some lunch I came back to start the car and head back to work.
She kept turning over and over and over. Wouldn't start. No CEL. Battery was fine and strong (thankfully). I tried maybe a dozen or so times, maybe 5-10 sec each (she always starts right up). So I called my local indie Saab shop for a tow.
Right after hanging up the phone, I tried one final attempt. Luckily, she started after a few revolutions. I went right to my local shop, which is where the car is now.
Anyone have an idea of what this might be, or may have been?
Like I said, the car has been great and purrs like a kitten. Super fast and drives like a dream, etc....
I use premium gas btw and just did a 1/2 tank w/ Techron last week.
