20. Kf1? 20. Kd3! is better. The endgame has already begun, you want your king centralized. 

49. Kc5?? 49. Ra3+ followed by 50. Rb3 looks like it wins.

54. Ra5+ this is pointless. You waste a move and black advances his king just where he wants to go.

55. Ra4+, also pointless.

You should have been trying to get your king in front of the pawns and your rook behind them.
