How long should a chain last?

I replaced mine right before I went to the Gap. It was the stock DID and it had 23,500 on it. It went from a leaking o-ring to 5 kinks in about 300 miles. The sprockets looked surprisingly good, but the rear was showing some wear.
That is the most mileage that I've ever gotten out out of a chain.
