Just finished the last important road race of the year last weekend, and have an FTP test scheduled for next Monday. I also have a blood donation scheduled for Tuesday. Am I thinking right that I should probably put off the FTP test til a week after donating blood, and simply extend my post-A-Race rest week to another week of easy recovery/tempo rides following blood donation?
FWIW, there is a major blood shortage, so a few weeks of reduced power seems like a worthwhile sacrifice, given no important races til Spring.
