I didn't immediately think it was an error, but I did want to see where I had done this epic feat.

The reason I'm sure the data is wrong is that the location on the map is pretty much flat and I wasn't working hard there. If it had been at one of the two locations that I suspected it was then I would have just accepted the truth that I am a cycling monster (over very short distances).
Even if it was accurate (which I doubt because the shorter the duration, the worse "calculators" get), 800W fo a 207lb rider is far short of monsterous... Sorry to burst your bubble.
