I placed 2rd in 2008, 2009, and 3rd in 2007. I am hoping to break 8hrs, and improve my placing once again.

Pete Jacobs has had a string of successes in the 7 years he has been a professional triathlete, and capped them all off with an 8th place at the Hawaii Ironman World Championships in 2009. At the beginning of 2010 Pete joined the ranks of Triathlon Team Abu Dhabi, a high profile group of professional triathletes who all race under the Abu Dhabi banner with a select group of high end products and sponsors supporting the team.
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.
Pete is managed by Trent Taylor, Director of Synergy Sports Marketing.

Great result Pete, so close to breaking the 8 hour barrier, it is only a matter of time before the win and sub 8 hour race. Well done
