    One of my ex gfs … long after we broke up… actually literally did compete in, and successfully completed a long distance, multi day/week long endurance ride across basically all of Mongolia.

    Like… literal world class equestrian skills.

    The competition did not also include archery, but this was unneccesary: she was sufficiently skilled at putting an arrow through my heart when she dumped me almost two decades ago now.

    =(

    EDIT: Wow, I forgot, it actually gets more ironic:

    While she did not practice archery with a compound bow…

    She did actually practice Kyudo, traditional Japanese archery, at least back when we dated.

    Basically a longbow, I don’t think you could easily wield one, or do the… twist pull draw that easily while also at a cantor or gallup.

    Combo (world class, apparently) horse girl and weaboo, was writing her own translated subtitles for Death Note at the time.

    I guess I can take solace in saying this world class rider taught me how to ride a horse…

    Now I’m hoping that Mongolian house game on Kickstarter actually gets made!
