I read the question to be broader than the ability to win Kona. I picked work ethic/emotional stability, although those two are certainly not always related. I think the large majority of athletes who have success in long-distance triathlon enjoy training a lot and/or need to train a lot.
If you enjoy training a lot do you have a strong work ethic or a strong play ethic?
If you have a strong need for success (especially external) or need to train a lot even if you don't enjoy the training, are you emotionally stable?
