Subject: RE: Giving Blood 6 days before a race?I say only do it if after they draw it they send it to the lab to be run throught the centrifuge to separate out all the RBC's. They can send the rest of the stuff to the blood bank, but then, the night before the race, have them re-inject the RBC's back into you. You would have one b!tchin' race!!! Hmm, I wonder if that's legal. I'll have to go ask Uncle Eufemio. At any rate, I've never felt any adverse effects from blood donation. I've never done it close to any race or activity where I would have noticed it or even really paid attention to it, but never really seemed to have affected me. |
