Adrenaline Junkie Dani Moreno Tackles Trail Running
Santa Barbara 26-Year-Old Defends World Championship in Hawai‘i
Dani Moreno’s coach gave her a week off after she defended her women’s title on December 2 at the XTERRA Trail Run World Championship, a punishing 21-kilometer race on hilly terrain in Hawai‘i. It was her fifth victory of 2018 on the trail-running circuit.
“Have fun,” Terry Howell said. The next time they talked, Moreno excitedly told him, “I just got back from skydiving.” She was not content to take one jump out of a plane near Lompoc. She jumped four times.
Flashing an innocent smile, Moreno confessed her condition in an interview last week: “Adrenaline junkie … I think so.”
