Said UT disc's hub is dead and gone as of tonight. Boooo, Renn. Do the Gator head, collegiate team logos make you faster. Well, as long as you won't be racing against us at nationals next year, that is! 
Sorry about not having a white garage door, but I don't have a garage. I live in the student ghetto and spent all my money on my bikes. 
BTW....I like the UT disc. I was thinking about putting a gator head on mine (not the Zipp, though.....the other one). I like the way yours looks, I might just go ahead and do that now.

My intention here is to prove WaterRockets wrong. I'm a beginner and this is my training/road/tt hybrid as a work in progress. Sorry I don't know any of the OCP rules. The bike here is not intended as a show piece but is simply something I try to ride progressively less slow. I have my hands full with just that.

And it's plenty dirty. This is after the rare wash a week ago. I usually let it get so dirty that my concern for aerodynamics leads me to wash it (chunks of mud falling off and jamming in the front fork.) This was after a ride where my handlebar tape was flapping in the wind for last fifty miles or so.
Other gross OCP bonuses: black electrical tape applied to keep my cadence wire in place, ten pound skewer on rear wheel from ancient that bike doesn't match either (to easily jump in and out of trainer before races), dirty drive train, shoe scratches on crank, worn out saddle, SRAM/Dura Ace/Ultegra/S600/Cervelo clusterfudge gruppo, topeak bar x-tender, faux carbon cages, blue bar tape smashed into bar plug to keep it in place!

Oh yeah?
RUST!
TT saddle torn in 3 places, cranks actually misshapen from my last shoes (Nikes suck), frame pump, 3cm of spacers on top of the FORTE' stem, 28mm bars, mismatched brake and shift housings, and $2 Pedro's Milk Cages.

Trust me, with rider it's got a good 10 pounds on yours (and I'm three inches smaller.)

YAH! YAH! >crack<
Last night I passed about 5 or 6 riders who were doing the TT
(that's about right isn't it, UT_Dude?)
They all got to hear the whir of my 36 spoke rear turbine passing.

I don't honestly remember. I'm so focused on the effort when I TT, I don't keep track. I'm just going. Especially at that intensity.

Hmmm...
Drank once over 40k's, zero times over 24k's (nationals), and 8 miles.

Yeah, I put my TT comfort pretty high on my priority list. I'm suffering enough as it is in that position at that intensity.
I once saw Der Jan sit up and stretch during a TT, take a drink of water, stretch some more. The whole operation took like 20 seconds. Then he got to hammering and won by 90s or something ridiculous. I've always remembered that as a tool to use. If he lost 10s doing that stuff, but refreshed himself enough to make it back up, then the end result is the same, but he was more comfortable.
