Tri Girl,

I just started commuting again (today!), and my first winter commute. I'm at around 29-30 miles each way. I did mine in about 2 hours 10 min.

I agree with everything you've written and burned 1100 calories this morning and have been famished since. I was worried about my lighting but I didn't have a problem with people seeing me.

Keep us updated, it's nice to know that someone is in the same boat!
