Pete Jacobs has had a string of successes in the 7 years he has been a professional triathlete.  An 8th place at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships in 2009 showed Pete’s promise of being World Champion one day. At Hawaii in 2010  his 9th place (after a 4 minute penalty stop for taking too long to pass on the bike) was thanks to running the 3rd ever fastest marathon at the Hawaiian Ironman, and the fastest of the day. This result catapulted Pete into the minds of many as a serious contender for the title as early as 2011.

Regarded as one of the worlds premier Ironman swimmers, his ability to swim away from the pack and ride alone out in front is fast becoming his trademark. With a sub 2.40 goal marathon time, an Ironman title is imminent.

Pete’s ability and talent has not gone unnoticed by the heavyweights of the sport and he has been named an ambassador for the John Maclean Foundation, an Australian based charity that supports young Australians who use wheelchairs and was founded by Olympian, English Channel swimmer and Hawaii Ironman Hall of Famer John Maclean. Pete’s profile and development within the sport helps to drive and maintain the close relationship that John and JMF has with Ironman.

While winning the Hawaii Ironman is his ultimate goal, Pete is young enough and talented enough to be winning Ironman races for the next ten years. His career is still in the early developmental stages. He can become the most successful Ironman triathlete ever.
