Don't ride the day after giving blood.
I did and I was Cream Crackered!!
When I got back after taking a divert after enging hill.
'er in doors (who's a nurse)
says it takes upto 5 days to recover after giving blood.
So why didn't she tell me before?
She said I would probably of said I'll be OK. Which I probably would of :)
So I thought to help recovery I'd have a mega piece of cake!!!
Giving or receiving!
Syd you get everything arse backwards...that dodgy www.howtowineasyroadraces.com website said ride after you give YOURSELF blood!
Look how much better Vino went with a couple of pints inside him!
Damn, I must get a plaster
Are you sure you went to donate blood ? And nothing else, if they gave you a private room with your own cup and some eeerrrmmm male interest magazines then you probably went to the wrong place.
Damn, I must get a plaster on my paper-cut I dont want it to affect my performance ;)
Nothing to do with you having the last 3 months off your bike then, and then going out with two fit lads who have been riding hard for the last few weeks.
Surely not perish the thought ;)
Joking aside, I read on the official bumpf it takes 24-48hrs for red blood cells to get back to normal, so it may have been a badly timed ride after all.
Im in Top Shape
I've been working out hard in Syds Gym I've got Premium Memebership now!!
so it must be the blood or lack of it?? surely / hopefully!!
either that or I'm more out of shape than I thought
!!Wot No Bar!!
