IRONMAN FINISHER

Software dev by day, Ironman & ultrarunner by night. Building apps and living a healthy but fun lifestyle.

The Story

Do Hard Things.
Have Fun.

I'm Dylan Cramer, a software developer by day who refuses to sit still. When I'm not writing code or building my app InstaCal, you'll find me training for my next Ironman, running ultras through the night, or swimming in open water before sunrise.

I've finished Ironman Wisconsin, completed IRONMAN 70.3, ran 100 miles at Tunnel Hillin 25:53, swam Escape Alcatraz, raced the Chicago Triathlon Triple, and completed a 50K in the dead of winter. Now I'm training for Ironman California in October 2026. I also like to party, go to music festivals, and live life to the fullest.

I document the whole thing. The 4am swims, the 100-mile weekends, the app-building, the wins, the suffering, and the concerts and beers in between. I'm not trying to be elite or take it too seriously. I just like doing hard things and having fun while I do them. If that's your vibe, welcome.

My App

InstaCal

Health Tracking Meets Social.

I built InstaCal because I needed a calorie tracker that actually fits how I live. Snap a photo to track your macros, share meals with friends, discover food on a map, and chat with an AI dietitian. It's the nutrition app I always wanted, and now it's yours too.
