Question brake issue?

hey guys, earlier on today i lost control of my falcon on our very wet,greasy dirt road. i spun out into a ditch and abs kicked in and i had a small amount of control so i could divert the car into a wider part of the ditch. when i got home the brake pedal was a bit spongy and abs kicked in. should i be concerned? could the pads be worn? is there air in the system?
p.s i was doing about 30 when it spun out.

Default

don't worry. pedal was prolly spongy coz i drove it through alot of puddles/water and the abs came on because i pushed the spongy pedal hard enough to activate it.
