Start self-inflating your pad as soon as you get to camp by placing it in direct sunlight. This will allow it to inflate much faster & eliminate the need to blow into it.

if you are concerned about blowing into it because of the moisture freezing and making you cold, I wouldn't worry too much. Literally a few breaths is all it takes. Not really enough to worry about moisture.

It takes just a few breathes to inflate it. It takes a few minutes if you want to wait but even then you will probably still need to blow a bit into it. Maybe I have never been patient enough to just wait but it really is no big deal to inflate by blowing into it.

if you inflate it yourself and don't wait for it to "self-inflate" itll take about 30 seconds

The Thermarest pads I've used only take a few minutes - maybe 5-10? Never timed it. I usually just blow it up using good 'ol fashioned lung power and then it's less than 30 seconds.
