 You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
It was quite fun. 5min 11s for just under a pint. Strava! ( PS.I have no real idea what strava is)
Well done. Now keep on donating when the invite comes through.
Mine would be about 1% alcohol ATM, 2 days of over indulgence. I should be OK to donate in January after a year of operations and complications that ruled me out.
That's pretty quick, although I once went after climbing and it practically squirted out in a similar time
I've done 6 or 7 and about to switch to platelet donation, first one in about 3 and a half weeks so my blood alcohol should have settled by then, although I get back from skiing 4 days before so maybe not....
I've found the best way to make sure you donate as often as possible is to book your next appointment before you leave
A pint? That's very nearly an armful!
Well done on all counts, I was always told my irons levels were high and although I didn't time it the nurses assured me (not for the first time)I was finished sooner than most.
I started giving blood after my daughter was born and her mother needed 12 pints to get through the event, its been repaid now which is what i wanted to do but I really should carry on but have let it slip.
Excellent, welcome to the club, let's get others doing it too?
Just a pint 🙄
Get more in a black pudding
😉
I'm up to 5 donations now, going strong!
Nice work. Well done
Timing it is only something I've recently 'got into' - I'm not quite sub four minutes, but I think with a suitably stressful day I might get there.
I think I'm just off number 30, but I started at 18 and skipped a few years in the middle
My next one will be 75. If I can stay healthy foranother 8 years will get to 100 units of whole blood. Started at 18 thinking as a motorcyclist might need some but thankfully never have

Tablet playing up, sorry for double post
I'm not sure of my total donations of real blood (not plasma) as they messed up the records in shuffling around from central belt to north scotland.
But I reckon it must be as above around 75 - 80. Funnily enough it was being a motorcyclist that also led me to start donating while at university. When in Edinburgh used to cycle from work, all the way up Leith Walk, then to the BTS centre on Laurieston Place. Never took long for a pint at that level of workout!!
I've had a transfusion after major surgery stitching me back together after a mtb shunt.
As I've had one I can't give apparently which I find annoying and daft.
So I'd urge anyone to do it and whilst Sat there doing it donate to your local mountain rescue...
62nd time for me tomorrow. Missed a year following getting my new elbow and can no longer donate from my trusty left arm as I can't straighten it but keep plugging away

Howled at this ^ 😀
Having been a blood donor and then a platelet donor before going back to whole blood donations, I'm now at 11+ and still going. It gives me an enormous sense of well-being.
I absolutely hate giving blood. Always feel wiped out on the bike after but when a Nurse told me my bloodtype & CMV- combo is used in premature birth/certain surgeries(?) I thought **** the minor niggles and keep doing it 🙂
