broken chain

So i snapped my chain on my ride this morning. I only had 1 mile to go to get back to my apartment and was finishing up the last hill. I was out of the saddle and all of sudden, snap. The broken link has one side slight bent which caused the rest of the link to come off. Oh yeah this was not the masterlink either, right smack in the middle of the chain.

So I'm either crazy strong or the chain finally said no more, for now let me think that I'm that beastly.
One more thing, does anyone know how much force would be needed break a chain? just asking...
