I was away at training camp, and I didn't have a computer to upload from the Garmin, but I wanted the Strava report right away, which is why I was running both.
Unfortunately, speed can't change instantaneously. If you were going 60mph you should see multiple seconds at a similar speed. If you don't then it's just a glitch in the GPS. I didn't see any samples even close to 60 so I'd chalk it up as a glitch.
