Brake overheating

Last week I took a 135 out for a test drive. On a local Parkway I got the car up to about 100mph twice and braked pretty hard down to 50mph or so. Got a typical brake pad odor in the cabin. But it was thicker smoking that what you would expect from a performance brake setup after only two moderate braking attempts. Anyone else have this condition with the Brembos? Maybe the pads werent fully bedded to the rotors as the car had less than 200 miles. How are the original pads holding up to aggressive street use?
