Today’s workout is a throwback to the 2010 and 2015 CrossFit Games. If you are a newer athlete, reduce the overall load and have fun moving odd objects for about 10 minutes of continuous movement.
Beginner Option:
For 8 minutes:
Move odd objects 50 yards out and 50 yards back.
Use plates, dumbbells, sandbags, firewood or whatever you can find to accumulate as much weight as possible in 8 minutes.
Scaling:
Today’s workout will tax your midline. If you are less familiar with the GHD machine, use your warm-up for controlled exposure to the GHD, but choose AbMat sit-ups for the workout. Intermediate athletes can reduce the reps or incorporate a mixture of both GHD and AbMat sit-ups.

Athletes of all levels should shoot to work at a sustainable pace in the 18-24-minute range. Consider rough time caps for each movement; sub-7 minutes on the rower, 3 minutes on the jump rope, and sub-14 minutes on the run. Reduce the distance or reps in order to meet those time domains.
Beginner Option:
For time:
1,000-m row
150 single-unders
1-mile run
Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes:
5 L pull-ups
25-ft handstand walk
Post rounds completed to comments.
Scaling:
Two relatively high-skill movements today. If you are unable to perform an L pull-up, choose a modification that will challenge your pulling and core strength. If you are unable to walk on your hands, spend this portion of the workout practicing an inverted movement, such as a wall walk.
