Ah... misunderstood the question. I would say that there is a reason "abandonment" is not precisely defined. I think the umpire would be the sole judge of when THIS runner has abandoned her efforts to run the bases, and would personally make that decision when she's joining the celebration and clearly no longer trying to advance. And again ... if we're talking about anyone but BR or R1 - it doesn't really matter as long as you don't have a quick trigger finger on it and somehow have R2 or R3 abandoning before R1 scores.
