Tate Oil Team are Total Warriors again!
A group from Tate Oil are clearly gluttons for punishment, having signed up for the Total Warrior 2023 – the second consecutive year the Yorkshire-based distributor will have team members participating.
With a gruelling 12 km of running and 25 obstacles to endure, including high jumps, mud, water, crawls and climbs, last year was the team’s first ever Warrior. For most the event is a personal challenge, a goal to aspire to and only one team member had done any serious running.
With the rest complete amateurs, the team was ecstatic to complete the race in under two and a half hours, and it was this feeling that saw the team entering the event again this year.
“The feeling of accomplishment on completion and strong feeling of camaraderie, helping colleagues over, under and through treacherous obstacles can’t be underestimated.
“We found it to be an amazing bonding experience and have talked about that day ever since. So, this year we opened up the invite to all of the Tate Oil family and 8 brave warriors stepped forward.”
Good luck on July 1st!
