Hangover Classic 10k Race

 This year I ran the Hangover Classic 10k in Salisbury. Typically one expects high winds and sub-freezing temperatures for this race, but this year it was in the 50's, albeit still with the wind. Nonetheless it was about as good weather as could be expected.

My goal was to run a sub 50 minute race, which I just managed to do. The course was a bit short of 10k, so it's an open question whether I would have made the sub 50 if the course had been the exact 10k distance. It would have been very close.

It's an out and back course, usually with the wind in your face on the way out and at your back after the turnaround. That was the case this year.
