Ouch: Melanie McQuaid's video disses the stuff that SH@# Triathletes say....

Canadian XTERRA triathlete Melanie McQuaid has won about every XTERRA race in the world at one time or another including the XTERRA World Championships...three times!

So she's a pretty tough chick to say the least.

In this funny video Melanie takes it to SH@# Triathletes all around the world with the hundreds of excuses, boost and crap they like to say.

In the video's description McQuaid writes, "I kid because I love and... it takes one to know one. Sh@# Triathletes Say can go on and on :)

However, the PR one is totally and bonafide triathlete lexicon. Everyone is constantly checking their watches. As is "I'm so tired" since every IM athlete is 100% of the time in the basket."

Check it out below to see which one of these  SH@# things you've perhaps said.
