TensorFlow Object Detection API - Validation loss increase while mAP increase aswell?

Im trying to retrain a model named: faster_rcnn_inception_resnet_v2_atrous_coco

I have only 1 object which i want to detect, it means I have got 1 class only. I split my data into train (230 images) and validation (100 images). After creating csv's and record files, I started to train my model with this config:

# Faster R-CNN with Inception Resnet v2, Atrous version;
# Configured for MSCOCO Dataset.
# Users should configure the fine_tune_checkpoint field in the train config as
# well as the label_map_path and input_path fields in the train_input_reader and
# eval_input_reader. Search for "PATH_TO_BE_CONFIGURED" to find the fields that
# should be configured.

    input_path: "data/test.record"
  }

  num_readers: 1
}

Now, when I open Tensorboard I get a nice loss graphs:

Loss Graphs

And as you can see training loss (orange) goes down as expected, while val loss (blue) goes down at the begining and then goes up (probably because of overfitting training data).

So far so good, but when i look at mAP and Recall graphs:

mAP graph

Recall graph

I see mAP goess up as loss goes down, but when loss increase, I would think that mAP will decrease, but it goes up, which i can't understand why.. same for Recall graphs..

My val loss is incresing, but mAP & Recall keep increasing aswell, any idea why?
