Scotland’s Lesley Paterson balances two careers. Paterson is a professional triathlete (she finished second at Ironman 70.3 California on March 27) and is also a co-owner of a film production company. Paterson spoke to the San Diego Tribune about the balancing act.
After pedaling hellbent up and down Palomar Mountain trails for three hours last September, Lesley Paterson headed back to her car. She pulled out a towel and water bottle, stripped down to her undies, cleaned up, then drove to Temecula.
On the way she phoned some triathletes she coaches, discussing their training.
Once in Temecula, Paterson changed into a cocktail dress and heels, then passed out literature for a film festival. Paterson is co-owner of a production company that develops films.
