    The gerund phrase here is "My not answering her question quickly enough". The gerund itself is "answering" (-ing participle which acts like a noun), whereas everything else in this phrase describes it in a similar way adjectives describe a noun. The noun use of this gerund phrase is subject - that is, the semantical center of the sentence, the person or the thing that does the action of the sentence.
