I'd bet on a flaky ground. Carry a jumper cable with you and when/if it happens again, try connecting the negative battery terminal to a good ground connection on the engine or the frame, then try to start it.

You might closely examine the battery connectors where they join the actual wires as you can get corrosion at that point and it is essentially invisible to a casual inspection. I'd also recommend looking at the existing ground terminal connection at the engine.
