much the same thing happened to me as with Lord Krang..... except on my second go I got to 198 dodges - unfortunately i lured myself into a false sense of security and then got struck down within 5 seconds.

If you are going to do it the proper way (without cheating) I would recommend waiting until it is fairly dull or dark outside, when there is not much light and you squint slightly at your screen when playing the flashes of lightening will be much easier to see and you should be able to dodge them more easily. I agree that you should take breaks every minute or so - - - - but please remember (from my past experience) only pause the game straight after a successful dodge...........if you pause at a bad time you can unpause and be struck without being prepared.
