I just finished this game and the analysis tells me I had a mate in 3. I don't see it. Anyone?

That's it! Thanks! I was looking hard at how to use the tempo gained from Kg1 to bring my king closer, but missed the pawn blocking the escape square.

No problem, solving it was kinda fun :)

Thanks for the solution! I was wondering about this for quite a while but now that I know the solution it seems so simple.
