If you follow trends, this was a no-brainer. In the past two years, Ryne Olson has taken third and second place at the Copper Basin 300 sled dog race. Like a blue chip, which grows slowly and consistently over time, this one found its highest point yet.
Now you can call her a Copper Basin 300 champion.
Through constant snow, Olson’s ride was smooth. Finishing early Monday evening, she and her team traversed the 304.5-mile course in 2 days, 8 hours and 56 minutes.
“Just the snow conditions and my dog team combined to make the perfect race,” a gracious Olson said by phone shortly after crossing the finish line in Glennallen.
And slow and steady won out.
