I have to ask....
Why r-compounds on a cold day (yes 50 degrees for the HIGH is cold)? You're not going to get any heat in them, especially once you hit any watery spots. That and the pavement isn't going to hold the heat to transfer to the tires.
When the day STARTS at 50 before running and goes up to 60ish.. then you might have a good chance at some grip... but when it starts at 30ish degrees... I bet the surface temp never got above 40.
Lessons were learned I hope.

The safety stewards at the event need to be slapped around for allowing the course to be set up so close to a curb and those portapotties. They're there to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen and they weren't doing their job.

They probably did have the course designed with quite a bit of safety in mind.
However, when you combine a treadless tire and snow and/or water... you're going to need to increase those distances.
In a bad rainstorm at my local event a couple years ago, it was pouring. There was standing water on the course. If your tire didn't have tread or 'wet' tires... you didn't run. It was a safety concern that although the course was designed with it being dry in mind, when it's wet, someone with bald r-compounds (they're almost all bald, no?) can hit something 2x the 'required safe' distance away.
I would think it be common sense that r-compounds not be allowed when it's cold.

hmm you guys are not telling me something that I did not already know. I chose to run, I knew the risk, I knew it was still cold temp for Rs. I will run again on Rs if it is 50 degrees max out. My choice!!!
Thanks for your tips!
