The pilot stated that everything looked normal, while on final approach to land. The final approach speed was 80 to 81 miles per hour. The pilot said she 'touched down about one-third of the way down the runway - longer than normal.' The airplane hit on the mains and bounced 30 feet back into the air. The airplane then contacted the runway in a nose down attitude, slid on the nose, and came to rest off the left side of the runway. Examination revealed no anomalies with the airplane.
