Two moments

1The descent

From 12.9 km to 14.4 km

1.4 km · -5.0% average · 39.7 km/h · 117 bpm, peaking at 127

You took 40 km/h down the Shorthampton descent in the first third of the ride, which is quick for a 5% slope — either you were in a low position or the gradient eased enough to let you build speed without pushing.

2The steep pitch

From 40.5 km to 40.7 km

0.1 km · +11.0% average · 10.8 km/h · 142 bpm, peaking at 153

That's a proper step late in the ride, and 11 km/h through it says you ground it out without fuss.
