I recently played this game in a tournament. It ended in a draw. I played white in this game. Can someone please give me some analysis and insight about where I went wrong? Thanks.

I analyzed your game with the help of a couple engines and only found two moves that could have been slightly better and perhaps would have lead to a win. Otherwise, very well played game.  

Slightly better on move 34 was gxf4  (34. gxf5 Rxd5 35. Kg4 h6 36. Rd7 a5 37. h4 a4 38. Ra7 Rd4 39. h5 Rd1 40. f6 a3 41. Kf5 Ra1 42. Ke6 Re1+ 43. Kxd6 Re2 44. Rxa3 Kf7 45. Kd5 Kxf6 46. Ra8 Kf5 47. Rf8+ Kg4 48. f5 Ra2 49. Ke5 Ra5+ 50. Ke6 Ra6+ 51. Ke7 Kxh5 52. Rg8 Ra7+ 53. Kd6 Ra6+ 54. Ke5 Ra5+ 55. Kf4 Ra4+ 56. Ke3 Ra6 57. Rg7 Ra5 58. f6 Rf5 59. f7 Rf1 60. Ke4 Rxf7 61. Rxf7 Kg5 62. Rh7)

 

36. gxf5 results in an even game. Better was 36. Ra3 (36. Ra3 h6 37. g5 hxg5 38. fxg5 Rd4 39. h4 Rg4+ 40. Kh3 Kg6 41. Ra8 Kf7 42. Rh8 Ke6 43. Re8+ Kf7 44. Re1 Re4 45. Rb1 Re3+ 46. Kh2 Kg6 47. Rb8 d5 48. Rh8 f4 49. Rf8 Rf3 50. Kg2 Rg3+ 51. Kf2 Rg4 52. Rf6+ Kg7 53. Kf3 Rxh4 54. Rd6 Rh1 55. Kxf4 Rf1+ 56. Kg4 d4 57. Kg3 d3 58. Rxd3 Rh1)

Thanks, but I was hoping for human analysis.

You didn't specify. But, having now seen your posts in the forums, I doubt anyone else will respond. And had I seen your posts and replies before  responding, I wouldn't have wasted my time.
