Anticipation
Just over a week now to Everest. I am getting more and more excited about the adventure. I do hope I can do the trek and medical experiments justice and that I don't fall ill before achieving EBC.

Caudwell Xtreme Everest is a research project coordinated by the University College London, through their Centre for Altitude, Space and Extreme environment medicine. In 2007, special exercise laboratories were positioned along the trekking route to Everest Base Camp. Over 200 volunteers were tested as they climbed progressively higher into the thin atmosphere. More research was performed on a group of scientists who climbed to the summit of Everest. This is my diary as one of the volunteers.
