It's hard to give an exact diagnosis without additional info but it could be that
- you have relatively good power/weight but relatively poor power/CdA.
- your gearing is relatively appropriate for climbing but relatively inappropriate for high speed on the flat.
- they're pacing differently so they're steadier (in terms of power output) while you're powering up the climbs and taking it easier on the flats.
Or some combo of the three.
