Last year I donated blood on a Wednesday and then tried to ride a century on Saturday. I say "tried". I did not even think about how much it would affect me. I was ok until around the 60 mile mark when the hills started.

Then it felt like my legs were empty, I finished but it was really slow after that. I know why some people use blood doping for better endurance, now.
