Steady movement is key today.  Unless you are a Double Under master, trying to sprint through 80 reps is likely to result in tripping up on your rope.  Find a steady pace you are able to maintain and then grind through.  On the Alternating DB Snatch, employ a similar strategy.  Trying to do these too fast will wear you out, forcing your body to rest longer than you want.  Steady movement through the reps!

Scaling Options:

Double Unders -> 160 Single Unders per round
