My pubic area was really....hot? I think?...I don't even know what to call the feeling - my crotch was just hurting me. Not chafing - just pain. The saddle seems to press on my labia (i think that's what it's called).
Lastly, my big toes were hurting me. The shoes aren't too small, maybe my foot was sliding?
The back and numb fingers sound like a fit issue. On your next longish ride try to keep your hands on the top of the bar, or go down into the drops, but try staying off the hoods, just to see what happens.

The pubic area stuff sounds like either your saddle is a poor fit for your anatomy or it needs to be tilted a bit diffrently.

Feet - sounds like they swelled in your shoes and maybe you need a larger size..

Good luck and keep riding!
