The rest of the sentence ("much practice done") isn't much good either. "Done" is a throw away word.
If you didn't practice much, where does "done" come in? The word may confuse people into thinking you accomplished something.
Good question. First time I said that, and not just for points ( :
How about, "I wasn't able to practice much."
Less (words) is more, as they say.

If you want the sentence to remain the same, apart from 'to get' - there isn't any other way of saying it. 'to get' is the only thing you can use.
'I wasn't able to get much practice done' is a perfectly OK sentence.

in your example, it is even better to say "I wasn't able to practice much." sometimes, we should not make a sentence more complicated by adding unnecessary words

As the_turp says, less is more...
Why not, just "I wasn't able to practice much"...!

If you want to be a little, er, flowery, you could say:
"The practice didn't even make me sweat."
or...
"I hadn't flexed my muscles that much."
or you could say...
"I haven't practiced much."
or this...
"It (practice) wasn't enough."
