You wonder why it's so hard?????
Mountain bikes are made for mountains, just look at those big a$$ tires. Riding a mtb bike on the road is not an easy task. It IS a lot harder than a road bike.
What a you normally riding (timewise) right now?
How many days a week do you ride this distance/time?
Answer these and we'll go from there.

glbrum is right about the Mtn bike being much more difficult on the road. I love my mtn bike, yet when I am flying down a hill trying to pick up speed on pavement you can just hear the tires gripping the road and slowing you down. If you have access to a road bike use it, otherwise I just like to go out on rides, I'll keep my rpm's between 90-100 and it seems to work well for me. If you want to spice it up a little bit switch routes to include hills, that always adds an extra lil to your workout. Just remember to keep a nice steady pace, up and down the hills, and on the flats.
This is my weakest area right now I'm horrible at it. It seems like I use way to much energy trying to bike. I'm using a mountain bike because I'm not sure if i'll like the triathlon. Any easy training plans cause i have know idea how long to ride for or how long.
its on like donkey kong
