Donating Blood

[water_bugg]

Thanks for all your input - it made me a little less anxious about riding. I did finish the ride. The ride was much hillier than my past centuries, so I'm not sure which issues I can attribute to donating and which to the terrain, but I did notice a few things: 1. my pace was a bit slower for this century than others 2. my legs ached earlier in the ride than I'm used to (although I did get a 2nd wind and finished strong)

I think in the future I'll shy away from giving so close to an event, but definitely wont hesitate to give during biking season.

Great to hear that you finished the ride!

And yay to you for donating. The Red Cross folks here say that a single donation can help up to 3 people. So that's way cool.

Ride safe
