Tire went flat, then held air?

Question

During a recent ride my tire went flat on my tri bike. I was about to change the tube but thought I'd just put some air in the flat tire first. Amazingly it held air for the rest of my ride (another 2 hours). Why does this happen?

This is happened to me before. Sounds like a valve and/or pump issue. I had this happen to me where I'd inflate my tires and ride only to have the tube lose air with no holes in the tube. After getting a better pump the problem went away.
