At least you didn't have to walk!
I'm so ghetto, when I have to true my wheels, I just leave it on my inverted bike and tighten the brake adjustment knob until it rubs, then work it out. Tighten some more, work it out, tighten some more, etc. until it's even all the way around.
I'd like to learn to rebuild and eventually lace my own wheels. Maybe one of these days.
