The TOC Vampire-O. Excellent event with great props at the controls.
Heavy rain in the morning cleared by night but the broadwalks were slick and the creeks high. One bridge was washed out and just 1 log. I tried to cross but lost balance and landed in knee deep water. My strategy this year was to be elusive and not get bitten after being a victim in my last 3 Vampire-O's. I took it slow and ran away from groups. Coming home I walked through dense bush, then sprinted across the field in a circular route without a light. Covered in glow sticks, the vampires still had a chance to attack I felt. Made it though and ended with 150 out of 270 points. Good for a high prize pick.

Great fun TOC!!

Poor game but the skate was worth it!!
