UCI requires a two triangle frame, and who pins a number on their back?

That looks like a triathlete so...
(1)the number is on a belt (very common with the tri crowd--though usually not worn until the running leg)
and
(2) The really weird thing is that her jersey has sleeves

Haha! I'm a triathlete so I didn't catch it at first.
If the lack of tube is what you're talking about, triathlon is not under the strict limits that cycling is. I myself built up an old Trek Y-foil frame - totally legal.

Not sure if you would call it wierd, but the things that jumped out at me:
Drops on a tri bike, in a race.
Seat wedge on an aerodynamic bike, in a race.
Not having seen that bike before, it struck me as interesting how beefy the seat-stays have to be when the contortion of eliminating the seat tube is attempted.
The camera is pointed at the biker, when the real spectacle is the grown adult in a green goofy-suit.
What's in that fluid tank mounted on her handlebars?
Did she get the banana from the Bento box?

Top left corner, next to some sagebrush.
But why is Elf standing in the middle of the desert?

I thought it was the funny position of the elf's thumb in his shadow
