The Uprising arc's pacing was thrown off by the condensing of the manga chapters, so some things that clearly took a couple days in the manga (and were mentioned as such in the narration) look like they happened in a few hours in the anime.

The slug is slow in the manga though, and the Scouts getting to Orvud ahead of it is the same. In the manga it's not clear how fast it's moving though because all the shots are motionless panels, so it's believable that the Scouts simply rode ahead of it. The anime might have goofed a bit because now that the Titan is in motion we can clearly see how fast it's going.
