i'll be surprised if he DNF's. seeing that he's done a half and was absolutely ROCKED he'll probably (hopefully) focus and put the proper training in.
15 marathons is nothing to scoff at. assuming he's a normal human being he must have put the time and effort into training and i'm assuming understands how much more effort he needs to put in.
i think his splits are:
swim 2:05 (or not make cutoff)
t1: 11 mins
bike: 8:15
t2: 9 mins
run: 5:05
13:46...
awww shit, he's gonna be slower than i thought. haha. lets add 25 mins to the run and another 5 to the swim and the bike.

Isn't the general rule of thumb to take your HIM time, double it and then add an hour?
I don't see any way he completes in less than 15 hours and I think missing the cut-off / DNF'ing is a real possibility.
