Get ready for a thrilling showdown at the London T100 Triathlon! 🌟 Strictly Come Dancing star Julian Caillon is swapping his dance shoes for trainers as he teams up with former England rugby captain Chris Robshaw. The duo, who met on the set of Strictly, are not just racing to finish but are also raising funds for the Kerslake-Robshaw Foundation, making a difference for underprivileged children. 🏊♂️🚴♂️🏃♂️
Julian, known for his quick steps on the Strictly stage, is taking his love for movement outdoors. He says, “Rugby versus dancing – it doesn’t get much more different! Yet we’re united by a common goal in this race.” He’s also full of praise for Chris and his wife, Camilla Kerslake, applauding their work broadening access to sports and the arts.
Their globetrotting training sees Julian and his fiancée Sofia, who is also competing, incorporating triathlon exercises even on holidays! Julian jokes about his early triathlon days, calling it a “funny sight” with his cycling sneakers and budget bike. His Aussie spirit shines through, loving the camaraderie and outdoor adventures of the sport. 🌏💪
Chris shares the excitement and nerves, reminiscing about the thrill of competition and camaraderie he misses from his rugby days. Both are eagerly anticipating the dive into the Docklands!
