Interview with 2008 NPC Metropolitan Overall Figure Winner!

**NYCStrongFox** · #1 04-15-2008, 03:14 AM

Ladies and Gentleman! I am PROUD to announce our 2008 NPC New York Metropolitan Bodybuilding, Fitness & Figure Overall Figure Winner (1st Place Class C Winner) - KATHERYNNE RAMIREZ!!!!

Wonderful news! So, as the unofficial interviewer for Siouxcountry.com, tell us Kat, how are you feeling?
Describe to us, your fans, how you felt when you realized you won your class?
And when they announced you as the overall winner, what were you thinking?
How long did you prepare for this show and what did you do this off-season differently from last year?
Did you feel you were ready or like some competitors, usually feel that another week is needed?
However, looking at your 2 week out pics and 1 week out pics, you were on target and I have to agree with the judges on this one for sure.
What did you do to celebrate your victory?
What are your plans now? You know we all want to see you on the National stage.
What are your thoughts on that?
And finally, is there anyone you want to thank or of course, your group of supporters you'd like to have mentioned here?

I will have closing comments once we hear back from Kat....stay tuned

Katherine's response:
Thank you Mel,
I was so happy when I got called my name out as my class winner... for the overall call, I was extremelly nervous.... When they called out my name I was so in shocked.. OMG... I loved it, but then I came to my sences and the tears couldn't stop falling from my eyes... the first person I huged was My dear grl Jill, and then of course, you...

I really couldn't do this show without chris as my trainer and jill as my workout partner... We had our ups and downs, but at the end of each workout, we were happy we still had the striving feeling of achievement..

Chris really did his home work.. he knew how to handle my training, we did minor adjustments to my diet and we just took it day by day... His goal was to have us ready 2 weeks before, and he nailed it, I tell you....

I went home after show and washed dishes.lol, but the next day, i got together with my team, and we hit that apple pie spot, and really enjoyed eachother's company; it was soooo perfect, Mamoosa, apple pie, and vanilla bean ice cream.. yummo!!!
We will start working on a plan for Team U...

Thank you all for all your support, and blessings...
I can't ask for more... this is the meaning of "family love"

Well, you definitely DID all the hard work and it totally paid off!
Tell us, how did you get into competing?
How did you get started?
I'm sure if you are planning to hit the national stage, there's a lot going on in your pretty little head

as to the "game plan" you and Chris need to get together. What did you feel you needed to improve on for this show and what do you feel you need to improve on now to hit that National stage?
What did you feel was the MOST challenging part of this journey to your victory?

Theonly thing we are changing is him making up his mind on wether he wants me to buy chicken or steak/.......

... he often changes his mind after I spent almost my whole check on chicken Peckwack!!!! (we need a chiken smiley) hehe

Thanks Chris for telling us how you planned and worked with making Kat "Unstoppable"! She indeed presented a beautiful physique and her inner beauty was icing on the cake. I MUST say it was a pleasure being with her (& Jillian & you) backstage.

Kat, still need a few more answers from above:
How did you get started?
Roughly, how are you (& Chris) tentatively at this point, planning your prep for Nationals?
Will we see you do another show before Nationals?
