Question about draws

Hello chess community, 

I recently had a match that ended in a draw. I had rook king - king endgame. 

I cannot understand the purpose of the draw. It wasn't threefold neither 50 rule draw. 

I present the PGN so you can see. I would be pleased if someone could answer. 

Thank you

PS sorry for the technique

The game was drawn by repetition. The final position was repeated on move 66, 68 and then the last move - the 3 fold repetition of a position does not need to occur on consecutive moves for it to be a draw. Of course you should win this ending comfortably. I suggest do a bit of practice vs the computer with yourself having the lone King to see the correct technique.
