What does everyone do in their downtime for hobbies/leisure/entertainment?

This is outside of work and training for triathlon.

Except for racing road cycling as well as duathlons, I also love Home theater and high end audio. Keeps me nice and relaxed when not going full speed.

Both me and my wife also love wine and quite often combine our travels with cyling and wine. Had a great vacation last year, where we rode in France each morning (Provence, incl. Mt. Ventoux plus Alsace), and had some nice wine tastings in the evening.

Plus I love to cook (which is great since I get to eat as healthy as I want)

I hike/backpack, camp, raise 4 kids.  Ok the kids are not really a hobby, but it takes a lot of time.

Fixing, restoring and cursing at 70's motorcycles is about to start up again for me.  With only about 5 months of riding season here I'm itching to get to it again.

hmmm...this list could get really long...I'm a "hobby jumper"...I seem to concentrate on one hobby for a few months then move on to the next...drives my wife crazy...

My latest obsession is astrophotography...others include cycling, hunting (big game), fishing (mainly saltwater), flying (single engine instrument), photography, target shooting, geneology, and reading to name a few...if it looks like fun I will add it to the list and try it out for awhile to see if it sticks...if it does I add it in to the rotation...

I used to play womens over 30 soccer but kept getting hurt..rough crowd seriously I was in two games when fights broke out and that was so not what I wanted out of soccer...so it interfered with my tri training.

Now I take Zumba classes with my daughters...fun way to workout and they like kick boxing classes which we do together sometimes.

I enjoy hiking and nature stuff.

But tri training takes up most of my time.

Somebody mentioned being a hobby 'jumper', I guess that describes me too.  Some that I have been involved in over the years:

Sailboat racing for about 10 years- Hobie Cats to Offshore boats

Auto racing-SCCA autocrosses to Ferrari Club races

Soaring- Flew gliders in national level competition for about 10 years

Flying- Been flying for over 30 years, single engine instrument rated

Triathlon- started last year!

Outside of triathlon training and grad school, I don't have too much time.  But, I do knit a fair bit.  Sounds crazy, but it keeps me busy and I like it.  I play video games once in awhile, too
