Your sentence is a little bit of a mouthful.

I would recommend these more idiomatic expressions instead:

I did my best.

I did the best I could.

I did whatever I could.

I did anything I could.

These expressions mean that you put the best effort you were capable of in attempting to do something, even though it may or may not end up as a failure.
