Pete,
Many, many thanks. Way more than I expected when I started my thread.
I've gotta admit the direction wasn't what I expected, but this thread really did get to the core of my dilemma.

Now I've got to spend some time with it. My thought at the moment is to drop statics, increase the cardio and anabobic, and play more with FRC. That should be plenty to get me through this winter, and probbly the next few. ; ))

I still can't go all out. All the open water around here is very hard and white, so I'm stuck in the pool for a while. The up side is I can walk on water.

I'll get back in touch after I have a chance to internalize some of this and play with it.

Thanks again,
Howard
