There is a 2 Mile Open water swim in my area this summer. I have done 2 open water events - 1 mile each and loved it.
Is going that extra mile super difficult or is it all in making sure I pace correctly?

If you can go 1 mile & enjoy it, you can go 2 miles. Just don't go crazy at the start and be patient - you'll get there.

Absolutely correct; just pace it out. I find that when I can swim 3 miles, I can actually swim 5 also. But after the 5 mile mark, it gets iffy for a bit until used to it.
Enter the race!!
