Mountain Bike vs. Road Bike?

I have a mountain bike, but I want to start doing races so I'm going to buy a nice road bike soon. I know mountain bikes are much slower than road bikes, but what I want to know is, what if you train with a mountain bike? Wouldn't a heavier bike mean you're working harder, so when you use a road bike, it will be easier?
 
no they are completely different.

the gearing is set up to account for these changes ie harder gears on a road bike.
it is good to cross train between the 2 though
