Anyone here dontate plasma on a regular basis and still train for triathlons.  I was wondering if there has been any negative affects to your training because of donating plasma.

Yes, it does. Your body is busy rebuilding your blood, instead of muscle. My doctor told me to take it easy for a few days after donating.

I wonder if there have been any studies done on this.  You wouldn't think it would be that bad.  They are just taking the plasma and putting the rest of the blood cells back.  Which is why they say you can donate plasma twice a week vs donating blood every couple of months.
