AllWhites® Egg Whites proudly announces sponsored triathlete Laura Bennett will be heading to the Summer Olympic 2012 Games in London. On Friday, May 11 at the International Triathlon Union event in San Diego, Bennett claimed the third and final spot on Team USA for women’s triathlon – her second Olympic appearance since 2008. Her strong finish is a reflection of how Bennett trains, which includes a focus on nutrition and eating the right sources of lean protein.
“When I’m training for a race, recovery is an extremely important part of my process,” said Bennett. “Lean protein sources like AllWhites help my body recover and build lean muscle – ensuring I’ll perform at the highest level.”
