It simply means you are the first person on your relay team to run :D
typically a relay has four "legs" or four different runners. Each must finish a specific distance (often one lap around course) before next runner can start. The first runner is the "first leg" of the relay.

Each segment of the relay is referred to as a leg.

Leg
It depends on what race you are running. For example In the 4x100 the 3rd leg is your closer he/she is the person who makes up for the lost time if the 2nd leg isn't fast enough and your 4th/ last leg take it home he's/she's your fastest.
at competitive galas, usually 4. occasionally 8. :)

The burden of relay refers to the responsibility placed on a relay team's anchor leg runner to bring the baton across the finish line. This runner carries the weight of the team's performance and often faces pressure to secure a win or maintain a lead. It is a critical position in relay races where a team's success can hinge on the performance of the anchor leg runner.
