Johnnytx:
Short and quit answers:
"1. is this an ok thing to do as far as usac rules go?" Yes, it is okay.
"2. will effect my performance adversely for nov. 7th xc?" No.
Insight:
Platelets are rapidly replaced (in 24 hours) and will not affect your performance. Go for it and thank you for saving a life.
Be prepaired to explain your needle marks, though. I donated plasma regularily and had some nice needle marks to explain.
