As others have mentioned, those numbers don't add up. If you're using a Garmin for recording power you need to ensure you are recording data at 1 Sec intervals and including zeros for avg power and NP to make sense. The relevant settings are:

Settings -> System -> Data Recording -> Power Averaging: Include Zeros
Settings -> System -> Data Recording -> Recording Interval: 1 Sec
Settings -> System -> Data Recording -> Cadence Averaging: Do Not Include Zeros

Suspect you have Power Averaging set to "Do not include zeros" which will artificially inflate power numbers. Oddly, I believe this is actually the default setting.
