I was wondering what else you guys do? I swim, bike, run, and play trumpet.
Not only do I find myself lusting over the Cervelo P3 Carbon, but a new Yamaha Xeno, or Bach Stradivarius trumpet look just as good! I need help!:D
Or maybe I don't, if I didn't have stuff to do, I might be playing videogames all day (that would be bad!!) Just wondering if you guys do more than tri's! Share your other hobbies here!

full time student (only until Dec.!!!), hang out with my girlfriend and family, work, play video games online, search for deals on stuff I don't really need on ebay and other sites....

I have always loved watching those rally races on TV when I can catch them. What exactly does a co-driver do? Navigate? Offer moral support? I honestly don't know and have always wondered. Hands down best hobby listed so far.

I work, unfortunately, am a full-time student, ride 20" BMX bikes(xgames kinda stuff, but I'm no where near as good), spend time with my wife, travel when we can, and dream of our next vacation. I'm on vacation now actually, in Wilmington, NC visiting a friend. We're running tomorrow morning though. Still gotta do that at least.

My other passion is hunting...ducks, pheasants, quail, turkey, deer. Here's a pic of my daughter and I on our turkey hunt this spring. She's too young to hunt but wanted to come along. It was a blast! My boys have come with me on duck/pheasant hunts, but they're still a bit young to stalk a deer or turkey and keep quiet!

I have always loved watching those rally races on TV when I can catch them. What exactly does a co-driver do? Navigate? Offer moral support? I honestly don't know and have always wondered. Hands down best hobby listed so far.

Co-driving and navigating are the same thing. I call out every corner of the route and let the driver know the degree of difficulty the corner may be. I guess that I occasionally send out the moral support, but you don't want the driver to over confident or you'll end up in the green (aka: the forest). It's funny 'cause I suffer from motion sickness, but the adreneline is so high that I usually do feel the effects till after the finish of the stage (but I've never thown-up... came close a couple times though). Wierdest feeling is going down a gravel road at 128-mph with trees on one side and stumps on the other. One another note, co-drivers make sure that everything is getting done and that the car is at the right place at the right time. It's a great sport. Too bad that there isn't so much of a following here in the US. If you have more questions please let me know.

Gardening. We relandscaped the backyard this year so I wasn't able to get much in, but I did manage to plant some tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, and a couple of lemon trees. There's something about digging in the dirt to relax your soul.

I also like to ski and hike.

I also:
Hunt, fish, golf, tennis, volleyball, mission work, help at church, garden, and love my wife. I am also employed full time. I know I really don't have time to do anything. I always wonder where the time went.

Chase after my 3 kids (ages 3, 4 1/2 and 7)
Work toward my masters in library in information science
cook, clean and do laundry

oh, wait, those aren't hobbies... I don't have any time for hobbies!

Seriously, the only one I have is playing water polo a couple times a year with my old team. And I love baking - I make fabulous desserts and pizza and bread (and I'm modest, too, haha) Actually I really like to cook, not just bake.

Somebody figure out how to make a career out of that and library and information science... :)

I'm 55 and ride a Honda CB-1100-f m/c often. Was flying until a few years ago. I haven't roped much lately. Gave up golf and my 10 handicap two years ago and never looked back!
