How did the US do versus peer nations in the long qualifier?

I took a quick look at the results from yesterday's long qualifier to see how the US did against the peer nations.

The US had a 16-13 record (i.e. 16 wins and 13 losses).

You might ask, "how does that compare to long qualifier races in recent WOCs?" The list below shows you:

2007: Ukraine: the US went15-10
2006 Denmark: the US went 10-19
2005 Japan: the US went 4-15

For the record, the peer nations I use are Belgium, New Zealand, Portugal, Canada, Ireland, and Japan.

I also came across an analysis of WOC results by nation and discipline that is worth a look.
