I hated the fact that I needed drugs in order to feel okay. My guilt drove me to excel in school.

It is the sort of race that is more suitable for a narrow stretch of river, and it requires different skills from those of sprint racing. Basically, in a head race the crews start the course at different times and race against the clock rather than each other.
