Lesley Paterson Biography

Lesley Paterson is one of the most popular and richest Triathlete who was born on October 12, 1980 in Stirling, Scotland, United Kingdom. She is a triathlete and works as a producer and screenwriter in the American film industry. With Ian Stokell, she co-wrote a screenplay that was based on the novel All Quiet on the Western Front, by Erich Maria Remarque. It describes the mental and physical stress experienced by German soldiers during World War I. She plans to co-produce a remake of the Oscar-winning 1930 film based on the book with Stokell.

Paterson didn’t start triathlon again until 2007. She returned to Scotland in the summer of 2007 and entered the Scottish National Championships. She won the race. After this success, Paterson was reintroduced to triathlon racing and discovered Xterra. In 2008, she was granted an elite license and tried her first Xterra race in Temecula (California) using a second-hand mountainbike. She won the bike stage and took the lead, but she was unable to finish the run stage. She still finished ninth, despite that. She said, “I was surprised that I could compete.” This really put the bit between my teeth.

Paterson had, in parallel with playing rugby with boys, taken dancing lessons as a girl, and studied Drama as an undergraduate. After completing her masters in Theatre, she began a career in acting, screenwriting and producing, and started a film production company jointly with British screenwriter Ian Stokell. She starred in the video for David Gray’s song “Alibi”. Together with Stokell she has written a screenplay based on the book All Quiet on the Western Front, for which they have acquired the film rights.. In July 2011 they signed Mimi Leder to direct the film adaptation, with shooting planned to start in 2012. Paterson intends to continue her film career alongside her triathlon racing and coaching. She is working on a project to produce a reality TV series in which she trains underprivileged kids to race their first triathlon.

Paterson coaches triathletes using the name Braveheart Coaching. In November 2011, she described her coaching work as “the hardest and yet one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done in triathlon. You feel like you just give, give, give and the life is drained out of you.”

Although she had hoped to qualify for the Olympics, her poor swimming performance meant that she was unable to compete in draft-legal races like the ITU races required to qualify for the Olympics. She quit triathlon after failing to qualify for 2002 Commonwealth Games. Shortly thereafter, she moved to San Diego where Simon Marshall, her husband, was working as a sports scientist at San Diego State University.
