Fear is good and bad. Fear greatly impacts your decisions. Fear is good because it keeps us alive and keeps us from doing dangerous things. Fear is bad because it keeps us from doing somewhat scary things that end up being fun things. For example Phil's Hole on the McCoy's Rapid looks very scary. When you watch videos of Phil's you see the worst of the worst beat-downs, but in reality most beat-downs only last 5-20 seconds. Big and scary rapids like Phil's Hole always end up fun. There are 5 steps you can take to determine if you should run a rapid. Step 1: Ask lots of questions about the rapid. Step 2: Watch people run the rapid. Step 3: Evaluate the dangers of the rapid and also try to find out how to avoid them. Step 4: Run and easier part of the rapid (if possible). Step 5: If you come to the conclusion that you know you can easily run the rapid but you and still scared of it then try to build up courage to run it. Step 5: Run the rapid. Most likely no matter what rapid on the Ottawa you are on it will end up lots of fun. Thanks for reading my blog!
