	That's exactly where I am right now.  Precisely!  I tried to focus on creeks and quit playing as much.  That messed with my roll.  So lately I have been play boating again to regain that boat control.  What I have noticed is my one year hiatus from play did alot for my playboating.  One year of running harder stuff.. playing in my creekboat...  When I got into Hell Hole a few weeks ago for the first time in a year I felt calm and confident.  I worked all over the hole and had no trouble being where I wanted when I wanted.. it was fantastic!! I have never played so well after being gone so long. My creekboat is all wrong and that's a big issue right now.  I'm gaining weight on purpose to have more boat control.  If that doesn't work I will have to get a new boat.   There have been times when i should have walked stuff I ended up running.  I sometimes force myself to run things I have run before even if I feel a little uneasy.  Last time I did that I got trashed at Cable Falls on LRC.  As far as satisfaction goes.. I like the fear feeling better than the shitty feeling I get when I walk stuff I know I can run.. even if it means taking a beating.  I'm not sure this is a good thing.  I think that's where the "fear that protects me vs fear that can save me" thing comes in.  I know the difference.. I just hope I listen to myself when it matters most.
