You don't seem to have done a good job of alternating. Pretty much everything you ate had a high sugar content.

The chocolate and cakes also have a high fat content (generally). Fat slows gastric emptying, so, while you were taking on carbohydrates, they were less available for your body to use.
You only need carbs during exercise. Reduce your fat and protein intake.
