I took quite a beating.

Essentially I think I handled his sanrensei totally wrong. It somehow spiraled out of control. Help is greatly appreciated!

14: seems like this is not the biggest area of the board.
22: G13.
24: Seems like not enough running happened given that many stones.
30: Seems like a bad idea with a weak group so close.

14: wrong direction, stopping the san ren sei growing is most important, so c14 or d10. Right is small as you have s12.

15: as Black I would d10 to grow moyo.

16: wrong direction. Makes a weak group inside san ren sei that will be chased for profit. c14 again.

Already a hard game once that's happened.

Sorry for brevity, my saucepan is boiling.

Supplementary comments:

34: Really strange shape.
40: Simply failed. Maybe play D10 first.
44: This is a thankyou move. If you would like to connect, connect solidly and then that stone still has aji.
50: The influence you might get is not going to be that easy to use and black capturing the two stones will both fix his group and will also give him a lot of points.
52: The hane is more natural response to a contact move and anyway, this is slow. It doesn't give white any points and it allows black the chance to strengthen himself.
