Those of you going to the Next Level Games will use today as a time to prepare for competition. I would recommend that you put some bumpers on a couple of barbells and practice farmer's walks, do some tire flips for a certain distance, and try and push and pull someone's car up and down the driveway to the side of the gym.
If you want to do today's WOD, I think it would be okay as it is only 8 minutes long. You could then finish with some strongman event practice.
I would then take Thursday as a normal rest day and do only Snatch on Friday (no met-con).

Thanks Jess for offering up your car to practice pushing for this weekend's games. Farmer's walk with barbells feels weird; thanks for the tips Joe and Greg Mo.
Great Job 6 a.m.!!! I've missed coming in at this time so it was great to be there this a.m.

AND no metcon on Friday? Ricky, I'm taking back most of the bad things I've said about you. On a strictly probational basis, of course. I reserve the right to give them back. For instance, if you ever make me run a 5k again. Ever.
Mel, love you more!
I got 3 rounds and 5 front squats in 8 min, using 63lbs. These past three days have been tough, I am looking forward to the rest day tomorrow! The extra hour and a half of sleep is also nice too.
Shelley, GregMO, and I worked on BB farmer walks and car pushing. That helped calm my nerves for this weekend...ALOT! Thanks guys. I am just praying for a car smaller than my 2 door Mitsubishi Eclipse to push. Me....car pushing...never in a million years...only at CrossFit.
Great job 6am peeps. See you Friday am. :u)

As RX'd = 4 rounds

4 rounds scaled to 98#. I'm absolutely spent.
Farmers walk w/ barbell = really, really awkward. It was good to give a try though and I'm looking forward to the NL games, hopefully the vehicle we have down there will be close to the same size as Crystals. I seemed to be able to get that going pretty well, even though I think Ricky may have been riding the brake a little, just for funsies.
4 rounds Rx'd - burpees ruin my life.
No car pushing today, but I got in some farmer's walks and some tire flips. And then stopped at Hy-Vee covered in some pretty bad-ass tread marks.
