You probably could have walked it faster. I've given up on catching the lot C bus from T 6/7/8 - they don't come very often and they tend to fill up before they get to the end of the loop and just fly by in the left lane. It's a pretty easy walk if you don't have a lot of luggage. The car rental lots are only 1000-1500 feet farther. You could also walk across to T7 and get a shuttle there- it's a short walk and then you don't have to wait through loop traffic.
I'm still amazed that people try to do curbside pickup/dropoff in the loop. It's enough of a nightmare often enough that I'd rather have people find their way out of the airport and do an off airport pickup.
