Managed 15.9 mph average. It was a beautiful sunny day too.

I've done that a couple of times. It is always frustrating. Or, perhaps bump the phone, and it jiggles the battery enough to shut it off.
A couple of notes. You can "Manually enter a ride" in Strava. I always lose where to do that, but in this case, you know exactly how many miles you lost. So, just upload it. You can add a time if you wish.
The other thing you can do is if you resume Strava, then it will draw a straight line from where it stopped to the current location. So, if you did more or less a straight line, then resume, and it will draw a straight line from where it stopped to the current location and count that mileage. It'll help a bit.
Of course, assuming you've already saved the ride, then it is too late.
Sometimes if I shut off the phone or something to conserve battery power, then it thinks it has crashed, and when I resume recording later, it adds in the missing time and it thinks I've been tootling along at 1 MPH.
