  • TREVOR JACOBS– Ultra Insanity
    trevor 2/7/05 10:57 PM Page 1 Interview Trevor Jacobs – Ultra insanity By Daniel Green Name: Trevor Jacobs Date of Birth: One day in about 1951 Place of Birth: Bordertown, SA Sponsors: Huh? Oh yes – Qantas provided me with a half price ticket to Europe once which was gratefully appreciated. Currently Living: Yes! and in Canberra. Martial Status: Married to Josephine Occupation: Civil Engineer working in the water resource/environmental management field with the Murray- Darling Basin Commission. Height: 178cm Weight: 65kg Shoe Size: 10 Hair colour: Browny-greyish mix Favourite shoe colour: Anything really, except pink. They end up dirty looking pretty quickly anyway. Most loved pair of runners you have ever had: My first pair of runners (Asics Tiger) in 1981 as they felt really comfortable compared with the Dunlop Volleys I’d been using before that. Today, it’s Brooks Racer that I like best because they are comfortable, very durable and light so they are great for training as well as racing. Favourite race: I have so many favourite races that I generally follow a yearly cycle. Currently they include the 6 Foot Track, Canberra Marathon/50km, City to Surf, Oxfam Trailwalker, Brindabella Classic and various mountain races, together with a few rogaines and orienteering events. I like them all really! Today though, my favourite of the favourites would have to be the 6 Foot Track because it seems to suit me really well as I can finish close to the leaders more so than in any other race, giving a nice feeling. Super Sport Images Your top 3 running record with the numerically prefect time of Crackenback Challenges and on and on it experiences/performances: 3.33.33 in 1992.
