router ospf 2
 distance 109

(or "distance 101" in ospf 1). OSPF's default distance is 110. 

When the RIP needs to discriminate between different processes (static,
connected is a process in this context as well) presenting the same
route, it uses the admin distance as the protocols' metric is not
necessarily comparable..
