Japanese term or phrase: 不本音なものに

I am working on a translation of a newspaper article about a woman with a physical disability trying to qualify for powerlifting in the Paralympics in Brazil this summer. The woman appeared in the nationals for the event in Japan and the article says this about her performance: 「東京都内で１０日に行われた全日本選手権では、４５キロ級に１人の出場で優勝したが、記録は不本意なものに。」

I took 不本音なものに to mean something to the effect of her being unsatisfied with the results. My first interpretation was to render the sentence like this: "At the Japan nationals held on Sunday in Tokyo, [she] won the 45 kilogram class in a solo appearance, but was disappointed with her results." I am afraid that I may have misinterpreted this, however.

I would be grateful for any insights.

Explanation:
I'm quite sure that your original interpretation was correct--so both "disappointed" or "unsatisfactory" seems okay to me.

Another meaning of 不本音 is "unintended". If the sentence is not finished as "不本音なものに", this may be rather confusing, but I'm pretty sure that you can be confident.
