I do not believe the rotors could be wrapped so quickly.

Considering RS29 with the next outing.
You may have exceeded the operating temp of the OEM pads and left some deposit on the rotors. How do the rotors look? Do you see any uneven spot, may look like the pad material has smeared over?

You can either remove the rotors and have the machined(just a few thousands will usually do it) or a cold track pad(depending on the compound) may be abrasive enough to clean the surface .

Did you do a cool down lap?
