Soooooo many people peak for a qualifying race and put all their effort and motivation into that race, and treat Kona as a semi-vacation, semi race, but are mainly there to experience the race itself, rather than put the same effort and motivation into it. Look at how how many people here and elsewhere talk about KQing vs. kicking ass once they are there.

That's exactly my story and I wouldn't have changed anything about it, not 1 second.

It's not just the heat that makes conditions tough at Kona, it's also the wind and humidity.
