Exactly! That's a lot of miles for a wheel. You did extremely well. You should be happy. As mentioned before, one spoke breaks, then the others that are ready to break get stressed more. Nothing odd about that, it's normal.
When one spoked popped you kept riding? Did you stop and check the wheel or at least secure the spoke from flying around and getting caught in something? If you did not, you are lucky nothing else happened.
