Launched this week, the campaign delivered in partnership with the Home Nations, Triathlon England, Welsh Triathlon and triathlonscotland will run in the lead up to the free-to-view triathlon events that take place on 24 and 26 July.

 

Participants are encouraged to upload a suggested celebratory pose or vote for their favourite via British Triathlon’s Facebook and Twitter channels as well as www.britishtriathlon.org/strikeapose, before the closing date of 21 July.

 

The first 100 entries will receive a signed image from competing triathletes at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games. A winning pose will be chosen by a panel of triathletes on British Triathlon’s UK Sport Lottery funded World-Class Programme following the creation of a top-ten shortlist of poses voted on by the public. The winning pose may even be adopted during the triathlon events themselves.

 

Jodie Stimpson, a member of Team England can’t wait to see the entries coming in, commenting: "I hope people will have fun coming up with some triathlon celebrations as part of #Strikeapose! With only a couple of weeks to go until the Games I am starting to get really excited now and really want to deliver my best performance possible in front of what we hope will be a big crowd. If the winning pose is good then maybe the race winners will do it, we’ll see!”

 

The winner will receive a signed piece of merchandise from the leading Home Nation team along with a photo of the winning pose.
