Default Brake pedal travel before, during and after track day events

I guess some of you attend track days with your ti's. What I and others have experienced is that after some hard laps the pedal starts to get low (even with braided lines, new pads, fresh fluid and slotted rotors). The brake performance is still good, but the pedal travel is longer than usual. After the track event it goes 2-3 days with normal driving before the pedal travel is normal. This happens with stock brakes and several brands of pads.

This has nothing to do with boiling fluid or brake fade.

Have you track junkies experienced anything like this?
