Is this a symptom of the altimeter failing?

I recently did a triathlon where i recorded the bike leg on both my 945 and Edge 530.  The 945 had big stretches of flat elevation during both the bike and run.  But subsequent workouts on the 945 seemed fine.  I swam just before this, which probably has something to do with it.

Has anyone experienced this?  Is my altimeter busy failing?  Did I just have water or maybe debris stuck in the altimeter ports?

I had multiple replacements for both my previous 910 and 920 watches due to failed altimeters, but when they failed, they suddenly just got stuck at 36k feet.  They didn't drop out like this.

Top is the Edge, bottom the 945.  The 945 recorded about 75% of the elevation recorded by the Edge.
