Anyone here have a bigger 'hobby/interest' than triathlon? (Page 6)

LOVE building things!  I built my twins a bunkbed for their birthday (5 years) this summer.  It was tough to get it done, because there was only about 6 weeks between the tri I did and their birthday, and I traveled for work a lot in that time.  I have realized that I hate sanding....

Hooray for other female riders! Vespas are sooooo cool. I would ride one around if I lived in a relatively flat urban environment.

My wife, who is a triathlete but not active here, rides a Monster 650.  Super fun bike, when I'm up for a thrill I'll take it out as well, then it's back to relaxing on my cruiser.

Unfortunately, with all this tri training we hardly got out on the bikes at all last summer.  Every afternoon that it was nice enough to ride motorcycles I'd end up going out on the road bike instead.

What gym did you manage?  I am from Minnesota and, likewise, pre kids and triathlon, was a seriously dedicated rock climber.

I love cars, im in the middle of a restoration project on a 65 mustang and just about done with a 93 vert mustang.

It is pretty cool that Ford is offering the 69 mustang and bronco bodies for sale.  Have always wanted to restore a 69 bronco.  This makes it a little easier.

I play no instruments, but I commend you on your musical taste.

Soccer, first and foremost, always.  My only goal in coming back from the knee surgery I just had is to be able to play again.  I played goalie through college, but since I've gotten into playing midfield and defense (it saves my back from all that diving).  I coach whenever I get the chance, too, but I might be too intense to coach high schoolers.

Photography has recently become a big hobby, but I like combining that with my other hobby of just being outside (hiking, snowshoeing, etc).  Though recently I've been getting into taking family photos, and I'm thinking of building a portfolio so I can make it a side business eventually.  I'm saving up for a nicer lens now.

Past that, I have lots of little hobbies like reading and cross-stitching when I can. 

Triathlon was mostly a way of feeding my competitive spirit after my college soccer career ended.  I like having a sport that gives me the ability to train alone since I've never played an individual sport, and having the variety of sports in one is nice. 

With 3 boys ages 6, 7, and 10, all of whom are involved in cub scouts and my oldest whom is very involved in sports right now (soccer and currently basketball, whose team I am the coach of) I don't have time for much other than work, spending time with my kids, training, and then squeezing in a bit of time with my wife. 

I do have other hobbies that I enjoy as time allows.  Home brewing is one though I haven't done any in over a year.  By trade I'm an IT programmer/software developer and sometimes I work on little side projects related to that just to keep my skills current and stay interested (which does not always happen on my actual job), my current one being a college basketball simulation program. 

I play  competitive tennis.   Also interests in cardiac physiology, echocardiography and photography.

I have a jeep.

Makes buying and maintaining a bike look easy.
