There's a chance some athletes may just sandbag Murph if it is fact scheduled as an individual event (there's some debate that it's really team Murph).

Strategically, it is actually a pretty sound strategy. It's simply a 100-point workout, just like most of the others. If one WOD is going to so adversely affect you such that it makes you perform worse on other events, then there is simply no need to kill yourself on this single workout.
