So simple. consistency, frequency, duration.
So many are for this stuff that when I look at their overall training means nothing. Unless one is training 12 months a year, the person is really not that serious to be the best they can be.
Over-simplifying has as many limitations as over-complicating things. If you have ambitions to be fast (whatever that is for you), doing the same thing day in day out for 12 months is not a great idea. There isn't a single elite athlete that actually trains that way.
The downside to this argument is that, however annoying, h2o is at least in the upper ranges of subelite... showing that at least for him, the year round time based training is all that he needs to be awesome at tris. Does that mean most people should train that way? IDK...
