Was this a string bet?

Points to both sides, but like posted earlier, this is definately a string bet, only because you DID bring chips out that covered a minimum raise.
I don't think it was an intentional string bet, though.

this is the definition of a string bet.

if you announce raise you can go back as much as you want... if you announce raise you should have as much time as you want to count and put your chips in the middle.

huh? then how are people supposed to know when you're done raising? there is no standard "end of raise" gesture or declaration.

not counting this as a string bet would lead to endless ridiculous arguments like "oh well you paused for a sip of Sprite so you were done raising".
