Thanks!
Here's a link to the VeloNews story. This is probably the one and only time I'll get media coverage like this, so I might as well live it up:

My bike was creaking like crazy the entire ride up the mountain, which was sort of embarrassing, but it didn't break. There was a truck with some journalists and photographers in it, that was following me, and they kept looking at my bike as it it might suddenly break, and to be honest, I wondered the same thing... After the race I diagnosed the creaking at it was my cleat on my shoe, and had nothing to do with my eggshell bike. I tightened the cleat to the bottom of my LUST carbon shoes and the creaking went away.
Thanks!
