The BR then went to second base on her own, and got thrown out. Unless the umpires judged she would have achieved second minus the obstruction, she should be out here, shouldn't she? There is no protection to return her to first base unless the obstruction occurred between first and second. And I'm not sure that's where the BR was obstructed.
Or am I in need of more coffee this morning?

A runner obstructed ON first base was also obstructed between first base and second base, and thus is still protected.
