Maintenance/Repairs

I have an 08 Hyundai Accent and I was in my apartments parking lot about to back out when another residents 3 year old came running out so I slammed on my brakes going maybe 10 mph in reverse. When I pulled out of the parking lot and came to the first red light, I noticed my pedal was stiffer than usual and that my car rolled WAY further then it should have before it came to a complete stop. They are self adjusting brake, I just replaced the hardware a week and a half ago, I manually adjusted the brakes to where the wheel would make roughly 2 1/4 rotations and slowly come to a stop then pulled the parking brake up and down maybe 5 times and everything was perfect. What could have happened by me slamming on the brakes in reverse like that would cause longer complete stop distance and a stiffer than usual brake pedal???
