The problem is that despite feeling, and looking fast. And despite hitting my targets at the track. I have not been able to put it together in a race - nor maintain it through out the season.
That is my argument against this method. It doesn't account for a sucky day. For whatever reasons we have them. When you put all the marbles into one bag and the bag breaks you are left with having to start all over again.
My running and racing philosophy was to run year round and maintain a good weekly distance and speed. I would select 12 or so races throughout the year of varying lengths that would keep me motivated and training for various reasons. As part of training for longer races I would race a shorter distance to take steps toward the longer distance.
I can't say that this can be directly related to triathlon but it has worked for me in the running world.

Sure it does. Most runners aim to do several key races in a season. Unless you're a marathoner, in which case, a sucky day is a big problem regardless.
