	For me, fear is a signal that something isn't without risk. If I look at a rapid and I feel fear coming up, it's a warning for me. I don't let it paralyze me, but I turn it into concentration and focus on the line where I want to be, the strokes I want to make and the alternatives where I want to go if the main line doesn't work out. It does't take away the fear, but I use it as something useful, which helps to deal with the situation at hand. Mind you, one consequence of feeling fear can also be that you don't paddle that certain rapid that day. Who cares? It's not as if you need to run everything that you come across all the time! I've carried around class III and paddled class V on the same day. Listen to your gut feeling and use it to your advantage!
