I know this is going to sound like a bad idea, but we need to put the King into action.

I think after Kc1 Nxf5 we are close to losing. Unfortunately I cannot find any good alternatives. I considered Rf1, b4, Ng3 and Nc5. They are all bad.

Activating our King is a good idea, but we probably missed a few opportunities to play more active earlier:

The key to this endgame is piece activity. Good luck to both teams.

39.Ng3 Rc6 illustrates this point well. We defend f5 for another move but find ourselves in zugzwang! 40.Rf1 would allow Rc2, other rook or knight move loses a pawn, b4 loses to Rc4 and Ka1 of course loses to Rc1 checkmate. Our kingside pawn structure made things difficult but we definitely should have found a way to play more actively.

Since Ng3 loses and we are losing f5 anyway why not play Nc5 and prevent the black rook from using the c file?

That's an interesting move, but then we need to play b4 to keep the Knight there, and then we have yet another pawn to protect
