1.5 hours of long tones, until your mouth hurts, is an incredibly stupid approach to practicing. It's about as inefficient as possible.
Also, correlation doesn't equal causation. You shouldn't attribute your poor showing to a lack of long-tone practice or her success to that ridiculous practice routine. Maybe your rhythm, technique, articulation, etc. was the weak point? Practicing long tones, however, will only obliquely help with those things. (In general, you should prioritize your practice time to address the weakest aspects of your playing.)
