From the photo section of her FB page we learned that she has an awesome body and can do stuff most people can't, like that thing she's doing in the photo (L). What is that?

We also learned that she has a friend named Jill (photo below R).

Julie Hendrickson is married to a guy named Mike, who is also named Hendrickson, and is an accomplished triathlete, too. Mike and Julie got married back in 2000, when Mike was like 12 and Julie was like 10. We don't know if the couple has any pets, but we hope they do.....
