Calling a team of shorter stature one of the more physical teams on the series seems a little strange. Clearly though, the physicality of the initial leg of "The Amazing Race 14" did not adversely impact brothers Mark & Michael.
The brothers / stuntmen raced in the top tier along with the other top four teams for virtually the entire leg of the race, finishing in third place after completing the cheese moving task. While the cheese racks seemed larger than the men themselves, there wasn't an extraordinary difficult for this team anymore than for any others considering the racks themselves proved largely useless.
What was interesting to me is that as a stuntman, Michael had no problem with the bungee jumping stunt. The stunt experience would be an advantage except for the fact that such stunts on TAR generally don't shift the race standings around very much. They're for show, not for comnpetition.
Despite handicaps of stature and age, it would not surprise me to see Mark & Michael remain competitive for the foreseeable future legs.
