Back to training…

Mark Dennehy — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 13:32:40 +0000

Coming back to training after a vacation turns out to be more of a mental exercise than a physical one.

UCD July Airgun Open 2011

Mark Dennehy — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 23:59:49 +0000

Not the greatest match ever, and a heck of a disappointment after breaking the 570 in training.

MQS

Mark Dennehy — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 23:50:03 +0000

It took 10 years & the last push has taken 8 months of physical, mental and technical work, but I finally hit the MQS score of 570 tonight.
