Garmin Connect "Ave Speed" and Ave Moving Speed" not the same

Probably been asked before, but can someone explain why today my Activity analysis show my Ave Speed as 15.2 mph but my Ave MOVING Speed as 17.0 mph.
61.73 miles over 3.63 hours equals 17 so I don't understand the 15.2 figure.

    This quote from Garmin explains how garmin treats time during activities (and hence average speeds)

    "Moving Time
    Garmin Connect calculates Moving Time by removing the amount of time when the user is stopped. This is helpful for users who either don't have AutoPause or have AutoPause turned off. For those who have AutoPause turned on or hit the Stop and Start button in the middle of an activity, the Moving Time should be very close or equal to Time. Avg Moving Speed/Pace is based off the Moving Time value.

    Elapsed Time
    Garmin Connect calculates the Elapsed Time by the amount of time elapsed from the actual Start and Finish time of an activity. This is for customers who have AutoPause turned on or who hit the Stop and Start button in the middle of an activity. For those who don't have AutoPause or have it turned off, Elapsed time should be very close or equal to Time."
