draw

I have played this game and it ended in a draw. I consider it a mistake, there has not been a triple repetition. Could you tell me if it is correct?

There was indeed a threefold repetition. The positions after 33. f5, 35. Kf3, and 37. Kf3 are the same.
for it to be a draw it has to be a triple consecutive repetition ... and that is not there
Threefold repetition doesn't refer to moves, instead it refers to positions. As @ProposeBurgers stated, "The positions after 33. f5, 35. Kf3, and 37. Kf3 are the same". You should note that same position means that the same player (here it is black) is to move.
sorry, but I don't understand. For me the triple repetition always referred to three equal movements
The best way to tell is to punch onto the positions after White's 33rd, 35th and 37th moves. Nothing moves.
Hi, threefold repetition is in the article 5.2.b in FIDE Laws of Chess (www.fide.com/FIDE/handbook/LawsOfChess.pdf), and it says:
"The game may be drawn if any identical position is about to appear or has appeared on the chessboard at least three times."
So there isn't any rule claiming that it has to appear three consecutive times just as @ProposeBurgers and @torbi said.
