Subject:rod knock ? 1.9 ....is this is sign of impending doom?

Couple days ago in Idaho, while climbing a particularly steep country road in 2nd gear, experienced what I will assume to be rod-knock (never heard it before), like someone with a small hammer suddenly on the engine about 2-3 times per second.
Shut down and had lunch, and finished that last 50 feet without incident. Hasn't happened since, but I'm wondering if I have been delivered an omen. Original 1.9 with about 200,000 on it....
