Actually, I was thinking the same thing. It's pretty easy to schedule donations around race schedules. I stopped donating whole blood until my doctor gives me the okay in regards to my anemia, but I plan on trying to donate platelets or plasma once she does.

But in the long run...saving a life vs. having a really good bike ride....you'd hope saving a life would come first.
