If you never changed the fluid until two weeks ago, you probably still have goo residue in the slave. That's the reason I prescribe the 20-30 aggressive pedal pumps between consecutive changes. They help scour out the crud.
You can also overheat the clutch disc by slipping it during the rolling burnout you described. When that happens the pedal can hang even with good clutch fluid.
