Durban - Ultra athlete Steve Black completed his 1950km "Coastal Challenge" charity race from Cape point to Durban nineteen hours behind his surfski rival Clyde Barendse exhausted but exhilarated.

Like the race winner Barendse, who paddled into the DUC beach at 6:30 on Thursday evening after snatching victory with an epic 125km final days paddle, Black was met on the line by cancer fighter Nikki "Lettie" Heyns, who was the inspiration and focus of the endurance event.
