Before reaching 1B, coach says "go!", B/R trots toward 2B (thinking she's at least protected back to 1B). Out at 2B.
At what point is obstruction dropped in this case? What, if any, is the rule about a subsequent play (if the throws from F9 to F4 to F1 are considered subsequent).
Thanks guys.

The problem is whether the OBS was before or after 1st. With F3 standing on 1st, the BR probably was hindered befor 1st, but also could be seen/judged as hindered in the attempt to run toward 2nd. If hindered in the attempt to run toward 2nd, then the runner can not be out between 1st and 2nd.
