road vs mt bike conditioning

I ROAD MY mT bIKE TODAY FOR THE FIRST time and it was a sux fest.....it appears that road bike conditioning does not = mt bike conditioning. I have been riding some on the road felt actually pretty good , short but fast loops 10-12 miles each some hills basically just trying to improve conditioning..I road the Mt bike today kinda hilly loop not as long but I almost died several times.....lungs & heart were toast......I know it requires more concentration but my body felt like gumby......is it me or it is comparing the two not a good idea?
