My name is Xeno Muller. I am 36 years old, married and father of four children. I live in Southern California, Costa Mesa to be exact. I run an indoor rowing studio, called the Iron Oarsman, sell indoor rowing workout DVDs and I coach on the water.
My rowing background goes all the way back to when I was 13 years old. My first strokes were taken on the Seine river in France. Six years later, I rowed for Brown and competed at three Olympics. In 1992, I almost made the finals in the men's single scull, but missed qualifying by half a boat length. In 1996, I made it and won gold in the single scull. In 2000, I returned from Australia with silver.
There is plenty more to write about myself, but the point of this blog is to further help people achieve there personal goals. After five years running the Iron Oarsman, I gained a lot more perspective about rowing and its beneftis, which goes way beyond the competitive aspect of the sport.
99% of our members at the Iron Oarsman, have never rowed on the water. I learned of their personal reasons and motivations, as to why they started working out with us. In this blog, I will write about training for competition, but also on rowing's health/therapeutic & wellness benefits.
In my opinion rowing is still completely unknown to the rest of the world. Yet so many would love to row to feel better and improve their quality of life without ever planning to compete in their life time.
I am looking forward to doing research and blogging here on Row2K.
So for now I wish you a great fall/spring depending hemisphere.
All the best, Xeno www.ironoarsman.com
