Ironman WIsconsin, Kona and the Lottery

As I read the FAQ, IMWI (since it occurs in September) would not count as a qualifying race if you manage to win a Lottery spot to Kona since that occurs in October.  Is that right?  Doesn't seem right.  Do the folks that place and get a qualifying spot actually turn around and race Kona in 3 weeks?

>> "2. If I am selected in the U.S. or International lottery,what do I do?


Athletes who are SELECTED through the Ironman Lottery must have completed an event that is 70.3 (1.2 Mile, 56 Mile + 13.1 Mile) distance or greater within one year of the 2010 Ford Ironman World Championship to validate his/her lottery slot. Lottery winners must complete a validating race before August 31, 2010 and all validating information should be E-mailed to [email protected] by August 31, 2010."
