CCIE RS Written confirmation.

Hi All
I read below:

Expiration
Candidates must make an initial attempt of the CCIE lab exam within 18
months of passing the CCIE written exam.
Candidates who do not pass must re-attempt the lab exam within 12
months of their last attempt
in order for their written exam to remain valid.
If a candidate does not pass the lab exam within three years,
the written exam expires and must be passed again before the
candidates will be allowed to schedule the lab.

Please confirm:
- I pass written 15-Jul-2011 and is valid to 15-Jan-2013
- My first fail attempt 22-Aug-2011

My written is invalid because I didn't take second attempt within 12
months of my last attempt?
