From your description, the "hard step" back toward first then the change of direction happened before the pitcher raised the ball to make a play.

The play is dead and the runner is out the instant she changed direction. Sounds like a good call to me.

Just a side note, the runner on third was subject to the look back rule when the BR hits first base. If there is a two or three (wo)man crew working, make sure that someone is watching R1.
