If you had your gas on the floor when it did it, then I would say yes your clutch is starting to slip.

How many miles?

yea that sounds like a clutch issue... I'd look into gettin a new one soon before it gets worse. Mine slipped about a week ago when I launched it from a light... So I'm babying mine till I get a ACT clutch ordered.

you tried to launch it, didn't you? Stock clutch can't handle it to well.

Perhaps you could try the Top gear - ebrake test.

Set the ebrake. Clutch in. Put the car in 5th gear. Give a little gas (hold the engine at 1-1.5k perhaps). Slowly let out the clutch all the way. If your RPMs start to drop and the engine dies you are okay. If your RPMs don't drop (or drops very slowly) and your engine doesn't die in a normal amount of time, then your clutch is slipping.
